EMME (Educators for a Multilingual Maine)
State Association Partnership
Our Partnership
Educators for a Multilingual Maine (EMME) and Idioma Education & Consulting are proud to partner in support of world language educators and learners across Maine and beyond. United by the shared belief that multilingualism and intercultural competence are essential to an inclusive, high-quality education, both organizations are committed to promoting and improving the teaching and study of all languages and cultures.
EMME’s mission to advocate for language education and to advance the common interests of teachers, students, and communities for whom languages play a vital role aligns seamlessly with Idioma’s commitment to providing accessible, research-informed, and proficiency-based professional learning that supports both instructional excellence and educator well-being. Together, EMME and Idioma strive to cultivate a strong professional community that empowers educators at every stage of their journey and strengthens multilingual education across Maine.
